Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some home maintenance tips for fall?(20)



Michael Petruccelli says;  Chimney and Fireplace

Call a professional in to inspect and clean your chimney. Fireplaces that are regularly used during the season should have an annual cleaning to prevent dangerous chimney fires.

Test your fireplace flue for a tight seal when closed.

Consider installing a carbon monoxide alarm near the fireplace and furnace.
